You have been teleported to the doorway of a theatrette. Those who
have arrived before you are seating themselves on rows of calico covered
pillows on the floor. At the front of the room is a little stage with
bright patchwork curtains, which are held to either side with yellow silk
sashes. Over the stage in gold painted letters are the words "Nothing
can withstand the powers of love, laughter and imagination." A lovely
young woman dressed in motley, with bells tied into the ribbons in her
hair and sewn into the tips of her shoes, comes jangling to centre stage.
"Would you like to hear a story," she asks with a twinkle in her eyes.
